A $$DC$$ shunt generator delivers $$60$$ $$KW$$ at $$240$$ $$V$$ and $$360$$ $$rpm.$$ The armature and field resistances are $$0.015\,\,\,\Omega $$ and $$60\,\,\,\Omega $$ respectively. Calculate the speed of the machine running as a shunt motor and taking $$60$$ $$KW$$ input at $$240$$ $$V.$$ Allow $$1$$ volt per brush for contact drop.

The field coil of a two-pole $$d.c.$$ series motor is made up of two identical sections In one case
$$(i)$$ of two sections of the field coil are connected in series, and in another case
$$(ii)$$ the two sections are connected in parallel. If the motor takes the rated current in both the cases, then ratio of torque $$(1):$$ torque $$(2)$$ and speed $$(1):$$ speed $$(2)$$ respectively are

At $$50\% $$ of full load, the armature current drawn by a $$d.c.$$ shunt motor is $$40$$ A when connected to a $$200$$ $$V$$ $$d.c.$$ mains. By decreasing the field flux, its speed is raised by $$20\% $$ this also causes a $$10\% $$ increase in load torque. Calculate the percentage change in field current. The armature resistance including the brushes is $$1$$ $$Ohm.$$ Neglect saturation and armature reaction.
